Lacinato Kale (OS)

Lacinato kale is especially tender when young and often used as a salad green in mesclun mixes. The fully mature leaves are best when cooked, but require minimal cooking when compared to other kale varieties as the central rib not as fibrous. Lacinato kale may be steamed, braised, stewed, fried, sautéed, juiced, and even baked like a chip. It is well complemented by a combination of garlic, sesame, soy sauce, and ginger. It is also great in hardy soups which contain smoked meats, potatoes, beans or barley.

Low in calories, Lacinato kale offers vitamin C, folic acid, calcium, and potassium. Enjoy the most nutritional benefits by cold-pressing the leaves and stems.
